Athletes have to participate in screenings in order to reduce injuries. Up-to-now most
screenings are purely clinically based. Literature, however, indicates the importance of
knowledge on deviant movement patterns as possible risk factors for injuries. From this
perspective, the current project aims to measure movement patterns, gait and running in young
athletes to optimise training and prevent injuries.
2D- and 3d registration methods, force plate data and pressure plate data will be used to
document the performance of the athletes.

| Other | Sports activities,personal demographics, injury history | Sports activities, personal demographics and injury history will be documented through existing information from the medical department (Physical Rehabilitation of University Hospitals Leuven) | March - June 2014 (3 months) | |
| Primary | Kinematic and kinetic data | Angles at different joints will be investigated with 3D movement analysis methods. Kinetic data (joint moments) will be calculated with 3D movement analysis methods. Center of pressure measures will be calculated on the basis of force plate data. Gait, running, jumps, postural balance will be investigated. Plantar pressure parameters will be calculated on the basis of plantar pressure measurements. |
March - June 2014 (3 months) | |
| Secondary | 2 D parameters | Video analysis methods (Dartfish) will be used to calculate joint angles during jumps | March - June 2014 (3 months) |
